Hello, its my first time posting and looking for some advice, please?I have had blood results as follows:-
TSH 0.72
T4 22.1
T3 6.8
I have lots of symptoms of hyperthyrodisum but i have been taking a multi vitamin with 100ug of Biotin. I can't remember if i took this before the tests.
Could someone tell me if 100ug would affect the test results, please?
Hello and welcome
That's a relatively low dose of biotin so I would think minimal risk of issues, I believe biotin peaks at 2-3 hours after taking and it's more of an issue for larger doses 300+... your results are right at the top of the ranges yet TSH isn't terribly low
Hyper isn't my forte, hopefully someone else will have some tips 🤗
Thank you thats really helpful.
Do you mean 300 micrograms or 300 milligrams of biotin?
Both are feasible.
I was going with ug
Would 100ug equate to 100mcg?
Yes indeed 😉 I was sticking with ug as that was your unit
Have a read of my blog on the issue:
